I have a 48" Current light with dual 65 W power compacts. In the last two weeks I've observed the light will dim for a few minutes and then will brighten up again. I replaced the tubes about 2 months ago. The light is roughly 4 years old. Could the ballast be going bad?

It sounds like a bad connection, or perhaps faulty wiring. There is a chance the ballast is going bad as well, but it's less likely. I would try reseating the tubes, making sure the contact points are clean (socket and bulb ... make sure it's not plugged in 
). If that doesn't fix the problem, return the ballast to your vendor for a replacement. The wiring or ballast could be bad. Connections knocked loose during shipping can pose a fire hazard.
